We are in the process of reinstalling overhauled Bendix S20 mags on an 0-320. The previous mechanic used the traditional internal teeth lock washers while mounting. My mechanic wanted to switch to split lock washers because he preferred them but unfortunately the studs are not long enough to accommodate the thicker washer.
My question is has anyone ever used something different than the traditional lock washer and nut when installing magnetos. As important as they are I am surprised there is no mechanism to lock these nuts down. Perhaps a drilled nut with safety wire or an all steel lock nut would work well.
I am just curious if anyone has any input into this thought..Thanks in advance.....
